Cakewalk at ETIS

Compete. Create. Innovate.

The PSUSD Cakewalk Program, led through the ETIS (Educational Technology and Information Systems) Department, connects students to innovative, technology-driven experiences that combine teamwork, competition, and real-world skill building.

With generous support from community and business partners, programs like esports, robotics, and drone soccer give students opportunities to develop leadership, creativity, communication, and problem-solving skills while representing their schools with pride in structured competitive environments.

More than traditional after-school clubs, Cakewalk programs help students discover passions, build confidence, and explore future college and career pathways in technology, engineering, media, and other STEM industries.
